“We find it funny,” agent Karl Ieuter said. “Our ads have come a long way through the years.”

The company found out about the airing the next day when clients across the nation called to share the news, Ieuter said.

“The next morning, we started getting calls from around the country,” he said.

The company takes the attention in stride, Ieuter said.

“There’s no such thing as bad press, even with the world’s worst commercial,” he said.

As the commercial was originally taped on VHS, the agency has no idea how Conan got a copy of the commercial, Ieuter said. The group responded on Conan’s Facebook, he said, and may send newer commercials to the show for fun.

“(We might send a) tape of new TV commercials, and see if he can’t play a more modern one,” Ieuter said.

Ieuter Insurance Group began in 1940, has 35 employees today and is licensed in 46 of 50 states. The Midland-based company offers auto, business, renters, life, homeowner and a variety of other insurance needs.
